In this documentary, filmmaker, Jocelyn Demers meets Dan Jason on Salt
Spring Island, on Canada’s west coast. Dan is an organic gardener with
a fantastic selection of seeds, vegetables, grains, medicinal plants and
flowers. He is also the head of the grassroots organization called the
Seed and Plant Sanctuary for Canada, a network of Canadian gardeners who
are preserving as much plant diversity as is possible. Mr. Jason has
been a long time critic of the non-organic food system in North
America. Jocelyn Demers explores Dan’s garden and seed world and
investigates what other experts from the agriculture milieu think about
Dan’s observations.

GARDENS OF DESTINY investigates many important issues related to
pollution and health. These include: How humans have died because of
genetically modified plants, the resilience that results in insects and
pests because pesticides are utilized in agriculture; and why some
countries have environmental courts of justice. The film also reveals
how a major food crisis was created because of mono crops due to
pressure from the World Bank. Additionally, it examines how organic
food has proven to be protective against cancer.

GARDENS OF DESTINY offers several easy and sometimes fun solutions for
citizens and governments. Two of these remedies include supporting
organic growers and starting your own organic garden.
